Question:
He also asks in his questions: Why did the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) delay Hajj until the tenth year?
Answer:
He delayed it, and Allah knows best, in order to purify the House from the polytheists. Therefore, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Abu Bakr al-Siddiq to lead the Hajj in this year, and he sent Ali ibn Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) with him to announce to the people that no polytheist shall perform Hajj after this year, and no one shall circumambulate the House naked. This is due to the saying of Allah the Exalted: O you who believe,[At-Tawbah 9:28]. The polytheist is prevented from entering the entire sacred precinct within the miles; the polytheist does not enter within the miles of the sacred precinct, nor does he enter the Sacred Mosque, because he is impure with the impurity of shirk (associating partners with Allah), which is a spiritual impurity that only tawhid (the oneness of Allah) purifies, namely the two testimonies: that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. They used to circumambulate the House naked, seeking to draw near to Allah by this, as they claimed. It is from the inspiration of Satan. They say, "We do not wear clothes in which we have disobeyed Allah." So they take them off at the miqat (boundaries) or when they enter the state of ihram; they remove their clothes and come naked. Except for whoever has a relative from the people of Makkah, who gives him clothes to wear. And whoever does not have a relative, he exposes himself, and refuge is sought in Allah, and circumambulates the House naked.
Allah the Glorious and Exalted said:[Al-A'raf 7:28]. So He named the exposure of the private parts "fahisha" (shamelessness) and "fahishah" (a heinous act), and a fahishah is that which reaches the extreme of ugliness and sin. Therefore, nakedness is ugly, extremely ugly and sinful. For this reason, He said afterwards: O you who believe, take your adornment when you stand in prayer. That is, cover yourselves and cover your private parts at every prayer, at every prayer. So Allah refuted the polytheists and invalidated the plot of the devils. But unfortunately, the devils among humans and jinn are still trying to make Muslims expose themselves, reveal their private parts, remove the hijab, and remove modesty from Muslim women. They call to this because they are the helpers of Satan. And Satan wants to expose the private parts of the children of Adam, just as he tried to expose the private parts of the two parents (peace be upon them) to show them what was hidden from them of their covering. So they realized it, and the two parents responded to him from the perspective of good opinion of him and accepting his advice. When Allah the Glorious and Exalted rebuked them for this disobedience and eating from the tree that caused their private parts to be exposed, they repented to Allah: [Al-A'raf 7:23]. The two parents repented to Allah the Glorious and Exalted for what happened to them of exposing their covering. This indicates that exposing the private parts is a great matter and a crime that requires hastening to repent, and adhering to covering, modesty, and chastity. Yes.

And when they commit an immorality, they say, "We found our fathers doing it, and Allah has ordered us to do it." Say, "Indeed, Allah does not order immorality.
وَإِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً قَالُوا وَجَدْنَا عَلَيْهَا آبَاءَنَا وَاللَّهُ أَمَرَنَا بِهَا قُلْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَأْمُرُ بِالْفَحْشَاءِThey said, "Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if You do not forgive us and have mercy upon us, we will surely be among the losers."
